Hi there
Just thought I would share my first long haul adventure
Nice wee trip from Tayside Scotland down to Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone

What fantastic trip my son & I had
our first time using IONITY fast charging out in the big bad world and the plug & charge worked a treat

and all the staff at the experience centre were first class the food was also first class and our very own instructor Keith with the wealth of knowledge regarding the car
Just a fun filled day

If you get the chance to try out the experience i would get it booked you won’t be disappointed

I did the same trip (from Fife) in late March with my Taycan CT. Recognise the IONITY Stations too! Gretna Green, Pc South Lakes, PC Silverstone. Also checked out Stafford Services which had lots of availability. If you are staying in Oxford a good option is Redbridge Park and Ride - loads of chargers but a bit on the expensive side.

Had my trip to PEC today. I came away shocked (in a good way) at the capability of the Taycan. Clearly you can only get so much from a standard test drive so I had no idea it handles so well, stops so well, etc. It’s almost a waste to have it handle my short commute and family trips, but what a car they’ve designed.

Clearly you need to drive your family a bit more enthusiastically - just make sure they have sick bags to hand!

What a fantastic experience to push the car to its limits and to stop it at 70mph
I had it doing donuts on the circle track

But yeah what a car they have designed
Sometimes I go home the long way on my commute , once your in it you don’t want to get out

I was also there today, were you on the morning session? Fully agree regarding the capabilities of the Taycan.

I was yeh, forgot to post on here first to see if anyone else was booked in. We spent ages on the water bit trying with stability control on, reduced, off, 2 wheels on tarmac and 2 on “ice” etc. it was ace to see how clever the car is (and how little it was my skill stopping the skid). Accelerating to 30 then braking hard on ice isn’t something I’d want to do again
